Things To Know About The Double Reed

By Amy Meyer


There are a number of different instruments that use these types of reeds. The main ones that come to mind for most people would be the bassoon, oboe, and some might even think of the English horn. There are instruments known for their unique and beautiful tones, and the key to it is the double reed that is used.

If you are having trouble getting the kind of tone or volume you want out of your instrument, the problem might be that you are not soaking it for long enough. If you are not already, it might be a good idea to keep a small cup of water on hand for soaking rather than just sucking on the reeds like some woodwind players do. With double reeds, you really have to completely submerge the end that you put in your mouth in order for it to vibrate fully when you are playing it.

Having backup reeds is always a great idea if you do not want to have to be worried the whole time whether or not you will get to play the way you want to. When a reed breaks, there is no other choice but to throw it away. That is why you will definitely want to have as many ready as possible.

This is something that can make a great duck call. It is something that plenty of hunters have used as an inexpensive substitute. The great thing about these duck calls is that they can last quite a long time as long as appropriate care and maintenance steps are taken.

Some people only like certain types of music, and that is what they want to stick to both with their playing and their listening. If that is the case for you, it might be a comfort to hear that these instruments work well in many different genres. All you have to do is find out that you like and then you can start playing in it with these great instruments.

If you are expecting to master this kind of thing in just a few days, you are in for an unpleasant surprise. Nothing like this ever comes without practice, and you will have to devote yourself to lots of that if you ever want to be as good as the professionals. While it might sound like a daunting task, all it really takes is setting aside some time each day.

There are all kinds of different brands to pick from, so you will want to try out a few to see what they are like. You might find that one is exactly what you are looking for, while the others do not quite do it for you. Different hardness of the reeds is also a good thing to explore to find what your own personal preference is.

Nothing is more helpful than going online to find out about this kind of thing. You can easily check out forums of other musicians talking about the ins and outs of these reeds. It helps a lot to hear directly from the people who actually use them.
